Jemstep–an Asset Allocation and Investment Selection Tool

DoughRoller receives compensation from some companies issuing financial products, like credit cards and bank accounts, that appear on this site. Unless a post is clearly marked "Sponsored", however, products mentioned in editorial articles and reviews are based on the author's subjective assessment of their value to readers, not compensation. Compensation may impact how and where products appear on non-editorial pages (e.g., comparison or "marketplace" pages). That said, our standard is that we will never accept advertising from a product which we wouldn't use ourselves.

This is the twenty-fifth day in our 31-Day Money Challenge. Over 31 days we’ll publish 31 podcasts, each designed to help you move closer to financial freedom. Yesterday we covered how to tell if you are on track to retire. In today’s podcast, I interview Simon Roy of Jemstep, an online asset allocation and investment selection tool.

Sponsors: The 31-Day Money Podcast is sponsored by Betterment and Personal Capital. Betterment and Personal Capital are two tools I use to make investing easier, less expensive, and more effective.

Topics Covered

What is P2P lending and is it a good or bad investment?

We take a thorough look at JemStep, an online asset allocation and investment selection tool.

Jemstep Bonus: As I mentioned in the podcast, Jemstep is giving away one free month of its tool when you subscribe for the 3-month minimum. Just use code DoughRoller27 when you sign up. The offer is good until 3/15/2014.

Listener Question

We’ll cover this question from a listener in today’s podcast:

Chad: “Thanks for the work you do. I was curious what your thoughts on Person to Person Lending, ie. Lending Club, Prosper. In your opinion is it a Good or bad investment, and if good what percentage of your assets would they hold in your asset allocation?”

Take the 31-Day Money Challenge

Our 31-Day Money Challenge will help you get out of debt, save more, and take back control of your life.

Bonus: You'll also get instant access to my interview of a husband and father who retired at the ripe old age of . . . 30. Seriously!

What others are saying: "Hi Rob. I'm at Day 26 in your 31 day money challenge podcast. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I've been looking for a comprehensive guide to all-things-money and this has been so informative." --Danielle

Start the 31-day money challenge!

Hi Rob,
I was listening to the Jemstep podcast in my car, so maybe I missed this…
I thought I heard you mention that Simon had a Jemstep promotion for Dough Roller listeners, but then never heard what it was.
Could you please re-post what it was if there indeed was one?
Thanks so much! I’m going to miss having a daily podcast after the 31-day money challenge! I appreciate all you do and have learned so much because of it.
Kate
